Save an Edited Image
When you’re happy with your edits to the image, click Done. If you wish to start from scratch with that image, click Reset. You may also close the image editor without saving by clicking on Cancel.
Revert an Image
If you want to revert the changes you’ve made, you have the ability to cancel your edits on an image and revert to the original version that you first uploaded to your Media Library.
